Doesn't matter how great of a driver a 16yr old kid is on a track...without stop lights, with a helmet, without speed limits, without normal traffic laws... they are still 16yrs old and make stupid decisions and fall into peer pressure easily. Kids drive dumb in any car, they can just do it faster in a wrx/sti.
Just because i raced a few times doesnt mean i spent every minute of driving time gunning around turns and whatnot. I knew it had enough power to get me in trouble and i respected that.. nothing like torque steer in a first car.

Then again, even with all my spirited driving, my only wreck ever was at a light someone failing to yield. No tickets, no wrecks, nobody dead. I was lucky and was always smart about my driving habits, well, sort of.

You have to keep in mind how many people in this forum who have "highly modded cars" but never get on them. Ill be honest about what ive done, many here arent. I could have handled a wrx at 16 as 230hp isnt much more than 200 and its awd. Some kids cant even handle a 100hp econobox.

Im only defending young people from all the people bitching about a kid having an sti.

Then again, theres a difference between "listing all these cars i beat" and giving a reference of speed. Your reading comprehension skills need some work.
